Don't be fooled.

A $4.99 bottle of wine is not good...even if it does come from the Liquor store with a flashing neon sign.

sympathies.

i've been seduced by the flashing neon signs too...

full of promise, with grand outer coverings, but, seem to just leave a bad taste in my mouth...

Oh, do tell...what was it? Did it have a screw-top? I'm only interested so I can stay far away. :)

Price is irrelevant. It's all a matter of type, and production. Unfortunately, the latter (and more important) is difficult to determine until AFTER the bottle is open.

I've had some decent $4 wines. And horrible $20 wines.

Smoking Loon makes a decent red for a smallish price tag. Fat Bastard is another favorite. Mostly because of the name. Don't you just hate that - the anticipation of a nice glass of red and PHEWEE! Down the sink it goes.

Don't you worry. We'll be doing considerably better than 4.99 swill at Wildflower.

What's the word?
Thunderbird!
What's the price?
.50 twice!

Nothing worng with the cheap stuff! If you really don't like it a testor or two of cheap lighter fluid...I mean vodka... numbs the tongue and that cheap wine tastes great!
But then I hate wine so what do I know? Green Mad Dog is as close as I ever got, lol

Nothing like the end of the month in a military barracks...
